    Try installing again - write down the "registry key" it is trying to
write to. Then start, run, regedit and navigate to the key in regedit,
right click on the key in question, select permissions, and make the
appropriate security changes for the user you are trying to install will -
since its hardware, it should be a member of the Local Admin group. Restart
installation and it should go, unless you have another issue.
    Registry Keys are just like folders, they have permissions too - you
just change them within regedit instead of explorer.
